I reached the top of Pirates

Chapter 171 170. Tenacious Life!
Half an hour later.

The entrance to an ancient town ruin hidden by tall trees.

Under the guidance of Asiya, Moses came here.

Asiya, who was being bitten by the tiger-like Messer, asked with some confusion:

"What's wrong?"

Asiya grabbed Moses's tiger whiskers and looked up at him:
"Why don't you leave?"

With a "puff" sound, Messer spat her out of his mouth onto the ground.

Asiya nimbly stood up with her hands on the ground, released her observation Haki, and looked at Messiah in a daze the next second.

The observation Haki sensed the scene in the center of the ruins. Three masked men in white robes were standing there. Judging from their body shapes, they were two men and one woman.

The three masked men in white robes were now surrounding two figures with white hair, brown skin, black wings, and red, swollen and festering bodies, who were lying on the ground without a breath.

In the ruins not far from them, there were two masked figures in white robes lying there, both breathless and with their limbs exposed outside their robes also swollen and festering.

"Poison?"

As Moses' breathing rose and fell, his breath was in tune with the surrounding environment.

He lowered his eyes to look at Asiya, whose face was slightly pale, and said lightly:

"You guessed right. Your observation Haki can only sense the presence of living things. The image I sensed shows a man and a woman with the same physical signs as you, and they are already dead."

"If nothing goes wrong, they must be your parents. They're all red, swollen, and festering. That must be some kind of deadly poison, right?"

Asiya bit her lip, her eyes turning red unconsciously:

"Well, it's a very special mixed poison."

"That's it, you see."

Asiya took out a thumb-sized plastic container from her trouser pocket, which was filled with a light yellow viscous liquid.

Asiya, unaware that she had already shed tears, said in a heavy tone:

"Although my mother's strength is not strong, she can extract toxins from various animals and plants and combine them. This bottle of poison is for my final use."

"This poison is enough to make my body useless to the World Government after my death."

The corners of Messer's mouth twitched. This bastard was carrying this thing on him.

Rolling his eyes, Messer disguised his presence and walked quickly into the ruins without making any sound.

"Will you wait for me?"

Asiya shouted behind Moses, and then quickly caught up with Moses:

"How do you plan to get rid of them? I can help you."

Moses glanced at Asiya, whose eyes were still as red as a rabbit even though she had wiped away her tears, and said lightly:
"Then act as bait and go to the front to attract their attention. I'll quickly take one out while they're not paying attention."

The pads under the four claws of Messier's tiger form stepped on the ground without making any sound, and his figure disappeared in an afterimage as he moved.

With hatred in her eyes, Asiya ran quickly towards the three familiar auras that she sensed with her observation Haki.

Center of the ruins.

The two men and one woman looked at the couple in front of them, who were no longer breathing and whose bodies had been destroyed by the poison. One of them, a two-meter-tall figure in a white robe, exuded anger:

"Damn that naturally evil clan! They actually committed suicide by taking poison, wasting five months of my time, and the mission still failed."

Another slender figure, two meters tall, uttered a seductive female voice:
“Don’t worry~ Lamo, the little bitch that Elton went to catch should have succeeded. He had already cut off one of her wings before, so she can’t run far.

Besides, we were lucky enough to find a devil fruit, and with that little bitch, our mission can't be considered a failure."

As he spoke, he glanced at the strange devil fruit in his hand.

At this moment, she discovered that another person was also looking at her, or more precisely, at the devil fruit in her hand. She immediately smiled sweetly and said:
"What? Little one, do you want to eat it? If you call me good sister, I might consider licking it for you."

But she didn't get a response from that person. At this time, the white-robed figure named Ramo said in a cold tone:

"Ashe, stop being so naughty."

Ashe hugged her white robe under her chest with both hands, lifting it up in a breathtaking arc, and a seductive giggle rang out:

"Lamo, are you jealous? Don't worry, you are the one I love the most.

I'm just playing around with the little puppy.

In my heart, you are the only one.”

Ramo's body was shaking, and his teeth were gritting under the mask. "Do you want to die?"

Ash immediately released his hand, his curvy figure once again covered by the white robe, and his tone became serious:
"This mission took a long time, but it can be considered a success. When we return, we'll have a good vacation. Let's go on a trip to Spring Queen City."

LMAO: ".Okay."

At this moment, a "crackling" sound of a dry branch breaking was heard not far away, and the three of them turned their heads to look over.

The next second, a shadow of black wings flashed by a hundred meters away.

"Lunaria?" Ashe asked in confusion. The next moment, her observation Haki sensed something and her expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, that's the scent of that little bitch. What's Elton doing? Did he lose the person?"

Not daring to think too much, he threw the devil fruit to Ramo and flashed out at an extremely fast speed.

shave.

"Ashe."

After catching the devil fruit, Ramo shouted and quickly put it in his pocket. He chased out together, and there was also someone following behind him.

Not far from the center of the ruins.

In the shadow of a tall broken corner of a wall.

Messer lay in ambush here with his breathing rising and falling slowly, watching Asiya show up not far away and attracting someone to chase after him.

A few seconds later.

Asiya rushed past him at high speed, and in less than three seconds, a figure rushed over quickly.

In the shadows.

The moment she sensed the figure coming, Messer's figure accelerated from extreme stillness to extreme movement in an instant, and her five-meter-long body appeared silently and out of thin air at her side.

At this moment, Ashe's pupils suddenly shrank, and the terrifying sense of crisis made the hairs all over her body stand on end.

A dark tiger paw with a cherry-red halo and black-red electric arcs lightly landed on her forehead.

When there is still a punch away.

There was a click.

There was a crackling sound in her neck.

The next moment, he was slapped to the ground.

thump—

The entire ground instantly exploded with the place where she fell as the center. Horrifying black and red arcs of electricity exploded fiercely in the surrounding space, and pieces of gravel floated up.

Mercer pressed his left tiger claw on her chest, and his right tiger claw was in a grasping position, wrapped with the claws of Armament Color and Dominant Color, and landed a palm on her forehead lightly, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

There was a click!

Her head began to deform at a speed visible to the naked eye, collapsing and deflated. Boom! The surging force penetrated her skull and transmitted to the ground, causing the ground to shatter once more.

Mercer stood up, his body transformed into a half-beast, and looked at the two figures that appeared in front of him.

[Obtain B-level soul crystal*1]

At this time, Asiya walked silently to the side of Moses from not far away, and looked at the female corpse whose head had been deformed beyond recognition with a look of satisfaction.

Messer looked at the two figures in front of him calmly, then tilted his head to look at Asiya:
"You take care of the remaining weak one."

Asiya's ruby-like eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded heavily:
"Ah."

At this time, Ramo looked at the dead Ashe at Messer's feet with trembling body. In less than a few seconds, Ashe, who was as strong as himself and had special abilities, was killed.

So how powerful is this animal-type ability user in front of him?

"you"

Messer watched the man in white robe speak, and without thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and a huge fist hit his chest.

Ramo's red pupils suddenly contracted, "So fast."

At the same time, his figure expanded rapidly, with a lion's head and a human body, his feet bent back, and his arms crossed in front of his chest to block.

The next moment, Messer's right fist suddenly turned into a claw and grabbed his crossed arms in front of his chest.

He suddenly lifted his arm, lifted him off the ground, and with the strength from the ground, he raised his right knee like lightning. BANG! The fierce knee strike collided with his lower abdomen.

"Guah."

Ramo's face suddenly turned red, his eyes instantly became bloodshot and bulged outwards, and his whole body arched his back and floated in the air.

Moses grabbed his arms with his right hand and pulled them down. When his right foot landed on the ground, he took a step back clockwise. He grasped his lion's head with his left palm, bent down suddenly, and slammed his head hard to the ground.

Boom!

A ring-shaped crack suddenly appeared on the ground.

Messer took a running stance.

Its body changed into that of a beast, and it grabbed his head with its left palm and rushed out with a whoosh. With crackling sounds, its figure flashed quickly in the surrounding space, and the center of gravity of each step was on its left front paw.

The head held in his hand slammed heavily against the ground again and again, leaving cracks wherever Messier stepped.

"Ahhhhh." Ramo suddenly roared, "Life returned, armed. Iron body."

Messer's figure kept flashing in the surrounding space. He felt the hardness of the lion's head in his hand increase significantly. The domineering energy in his body flowed, and as his breathing fluctuated, a dark red flame suddenly erupted.

It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire.

But as a blacksmith, Messer can say with certainty that metals that are not afraid of fire are simply because the temperature of the flame is not high enough. Even the hardest metals will always be burned by higher temperature flames.

The domineering energy flows in the body, and the dark red flames interact with each other at different frequencies.

Compression and aggregation.

Mercer, holding a blazing dark red fireball, suddenly stopped.

The body changes into a half-beast form.

The terrifying high-temperature flames penetrated into his body through his seven orifices.

True. Intracranial high temperature.

The moment his head was grabbed by Messer, his end had already come. Ten seconds later, looking at the charred object in his hand, it seemed that his Armament Haki was not that strong.

The domineering Ryuo technique and internal destruction were enough to penetrate the armament Haki defense on his body.

Messer took out a devil fruit from his unburned body with his right hand.

After seeing the devil fruit, Messer's eye twitched, because the devil fruit was already rotten at this moment.

A small piece has turned into mush.

There was thought in his eyes, and he suddenly recalled that his body seemed to be twisting around just now.

Was it smashed on purpose?
Don't you want me to have it?

Throwing his unconscious body to the ground, Moses looked at his slightly rising and falling chest in surprise:
"Not dead yet?"

He stepped on his chest with a click, and sent him to meet his companions.

[Obtain B-level soul crystal*1]

At this time, Messer turned his head to look at Asiya who was fighting fiercely with another agent not far away. A raging fire was burning behind his head, and the opponent's attack could not break his defense.

The sound of steel clashing rang out one after another.

Messer's eyes moved slightly, and he rushed over at high speed. In a breath, he was behind the agent and grabbed the back of the agent's head with his left palm.

At this moment, Asiya swung out a flaming fist like lightning and hit the agent's Adam's apple directly.

There was a clicking sound.

Flames burst from the throat.

Messer's eye twitched as he looked at the agent who was killed instantly.

At this moment, Asiya's body went limp and she sat down on the ground like a duck, gasping for breath, and even the fire behind her head went out.

Messer grabbed the agent's body with a speechless look on his face, walked to the charred body, and kicked the female agent's position.

Throw them together.

The field expanded, and dark red flames blazed up.

Destroy corpses and destroy traces.

Gasping for breath, Asiya looked up at Messer not far away, watching those World Government agents turned into ashes under Messer's flames.

Asiya bit her lip and stood up. She came to Moses' side silently and pleaded softly:

"Can you help me cremate my parents?"

Messer glanced at her without saying a word, then walked to the two bodies of the Lunalia tribe. Flames rose, and soon a small pile of ashes appeared.

Asiya dug a hole with her hands, and when ashes came out, she buried her parents' ashes.

Watching her trembling movements, Messer turned and left silently.

Walking in the dense forest.

Looking at the rotten devil fruit in his hand, Messer raised his brows slightly:

"A devil fruit that's basically intact, even if it's a little rotten, still won't lose its effect, right?"

In the psychic perception, the frequency fluctuations emitted by the devil fruit are still stable, and that unique fluctuation is still firmly entrenched inside the fruit, without any dissipation.

Messer looked at the white devil fruit in his hand with some arabesque spiral spots.

"Identification"

[Animal. Cat-Cat Fruit. Mythical Beast. Mengji Form (EX)]

The effect of the ability is that it can increase its own physical strength by devouring the vitality of living things, and it can also synchronize itself with the surrounding environment to disguise its own existence.

Is it something like a chameleon-like ability?
No, it should be a more advanced ability, which should be similar to the effect of his own gift of disguise.

It just adds an effect similar to environmental mimicry.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from behind. Moses turned his head and saw Asiya running towards him, panting.

Messer frowned slightly: "What?"

Asiya pursed her lips, her red eyes gazing at Messer:

"You showed no mercy to the people of the World Government. They must be your enemies. I want to go with you. Not only did you save me, you also avenged my parents. My life will be yours from now on.

You can use it however you want."

Moses bared his fangs and taunted, "Are you repaying a favor or seeking revenge?

The characteristics of the Lunalia people are so obvious, white hair, brown skin, and black wings. Who wouldn’t know you when walking in the crowd?

The World Government is offering rewards all over the world, and anyone who provides accurate information will receive 100 million berries.

Tell me, if you follow me, will I ever be able to live a peaceful life in the future?"

Moses turned and left without a word.

Asiya stared at Moses in a daze. She had lived a life of wandering since she was born. White hair and brown skin were not uncommon on the sea, but black wings were unique. She turned her head to look at the only remaining wing on her right side.

A look of determination appeared on Asiya's lips. She controlled the wings to extend downwards, holding the lower part of the wings with both hands, and shouted to Messer with a smile:
"Look, I really want to go with you."

stab-

The sound of flesh and bones being separated suddenly rang out.

Asiya looked at Messer turning his head, smiled, and walked up to him.

Messer looked at her with complicated eyes. The broken part of the other wing had just scabbed over, and now another wing was broken off at the root, and blood was flowing continuously.

Asiya came to Moses with a trembling body, her face was extremely pale, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, but there was a bright smile at the corner of her mouth:

"If I were alone, I would die in their hands sooner or later. I wouldn't be able to live long. Although this ocean is vast, there is no place for me.

My parents and I have been to many places, but some of them have always been betrayed and sold out. You are special. You have not shown any malice towards me. Look, I no longer have the most obvious black wings of the Lunaria tribe. So I can follow you now, right?

Mercer grinned, "Little brat, are you relying on me?"

Asiya looked at Messer in a trance and chuckled, "I'm gambling with my life. Either you take me away, or I will bleed to death here.

Although the Lunaria people have an extremely strong vitality and can survive all kinds of harsh environments in nature, they will die if they bleed to death. "

Messer chuckled, "You're scaring me? Do you think I was scared by your tiger brother?"

Moses turned and went away.

Asiya watched Messer's smooth movements, the luster in her eyes dimmed, but the bright smile on her lips remained unchanged.

He silently watched Moses' figure disappear into the distance, then staggered to catch up with him, leaving bloody footprints along the way.

With hazy eyes, he watched Moses' gradually disappearing figure, and used his observation color to sense the direction of Moses' breath.

Until even the sight and hearing color could not sense Moses' breath.

Asiya staggered along stiffly. After an unknown amount of time, she looked around with hazy eyes.
"Ah~ Isn't this the place where the tiger saved me?"

The eyes see the end point appearing not far away.

"The border cliff of the Red Earth Continent?"

Asiya walked towards it, she tripped over the rocky ravine under her feet and fell heavily to the ground.

Asiya turned over with all her strength, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and uttered a soft hum from her dry throat:
“Is this the end of my life?”

"What a boring life! My body is getting colder, the blood flow is slowing down, and my heartbeat is almost gone."

"Is this death?"

"It doesn't seem as terrible as I thought. It's so uncomfortable and painful. Why haven't I died yet? This damn Lunalia bloodline."

Messer's aura was in tune with the surrounding environment, blocking her observation and hearing perception. She sat in front of a huge rock not far away, quietly sensing her figure.

He glanced at the devil fruit in his hand.

He sensed Asiya's breath again. Although it was extremely weak, it was still strong.
"You're not going to die? Are you a cockroach?"

From the perspective of spiritual vision, there is an extremely tenacious and strong vitality continuing to exist in her body.

He was maintaining her body so that she would not die immediately. However, there was a flash of thought in Moses' eyes:

"In about half an hour, the life force in her body will be completely gone.

Then, she will meet her end."
